[For Bounty Maybe?] A small, nifty app called EZX-Info

[inijohan]

Guyz,

I've got an idea of a small, nifty application for our E680i, called EZX-Info. This should be a small but useful and informative application, especially for new users of E680i. If many people support this idea, I would be happy to initiate and participate in opening a bounty project for this.

EZX-Info is basically a System Info application. While being small in size, EZX-Info provides a comprehensive information for E680i users, such as :

- Basic information (phone type, kernel version, firmware version, processor version, etc.)
- Sizes of system, Phone, and SD memories (allocated, used, available)
- Status of usb mode (modem, usblan, product-support, storage)
- Themes (installed, in use, name, size, install location)
- Other useful information (developers must know about this)

In other words, EZX-Info summarises information available here and there in our phone, into one application.

The home window should provide the most basic information. From the menu/option button (lower left corner), other sections can be retrieved, and from each section, related information can be viewed.
It would be really nice if, with some information, modifications can be made. For example, under the information on the active usb-mode, a pull-down menu is provided to change the usb-mode. Or, a 'restart' button could be provided somewhere to easily restart the phone.

That was the basic idea of the application. If many people support this idea, I will put this as a bounty project. I haven't put it there right now, because I'm new to this 'bounty development' concept. And maybe we could discuss here first what the value of this development would be - in US$, of course.

So? Anyone support this idea? Feel free to share your 2 cents.

Should be easy enough to toss together. My cross-compile environment is kind of up in the air right now, but perhaps when I get things settled?

I'm thinking just have it exec the following:

uname -a
df -h

That should be all of the info you want...the usbmode app is already made, so pieces of that should be able to be merged in. The themes...not knowing how those go in (I've never messed with them) I couldn't say, but a simple shell script should be able to handle that, and just grab the output.

We can start from OPIE's sysinfo.

i was thinking of adding system information to theme manager, but didn't do at the end...

If we make it a bounty project, would that be a bit of motivation, intoxicated?
